Art Bell

[TigerLily]

I feel much better for Art now that he is in a bigger hospital.  Maybe he should get a second dwelling in Vegas.  When you have certain conditions and reach a certain age it is a comfort to know that you have state of the art medical facilities nearby. 

Ha - I think they airlift you in a medi-copter from Pahrump to Vegas.  Wait 'till the poor guy gets the bill.  Maybe he'll get back on the air just to pay it off! 

Glad to hear he's responding positively to treatment.

What's this? I thought he was home. Nobody tells me nuthin'

What's this? I thought he was home. Nobody tells me nuthin'

I think I was browsing around on MITD and saw that he was moved from his little local hospital to one in Vegas.  That was the last posting there.  It was put up on Saturday, to my memory.  Maybe it just wasn't updated yet.  In either case, he seems to be improving.  His poor wife must be so stressed out.

Latest update from Art Bell at the artbell.com website:

Thursday 7-07: Update From Art â€"

I am now home after five days in what must be one of the greatest hospitals in the world, St Rose. I am not in good shape, so weak I cannot dress myself. I want to publicly thank my wife Airyn who never left my side and helped every moment day and night and still is. I went through every test known to man. Had a hole punched in my lung, MRI, PET scans, X-Rays, more blood tests then could be counted, was on Morphine the whole time. Had so many IVs running it started to get hard to find a vein. If I make it I will have the best wife in the world to thank as well as the best hospital. Can’t really type more now but that is the current situation, more later.

...  It was Reagan who shut down the public mental sanitariums, allowing the dangerously unstable to walk among us...

Still going on about that?  I guess you didn't follow any links or check the ACLU website yourself. 

Tell it to the do-gooder Libs, who spent 30 years agitating for them to be let out with zero thought at all about what the result of that would be, and now want to blame their disaster on "Reagan''

[PB the Deplorable]

You have to remember, it was Reagan who gave them amnesty...

Yes, a deal with the Congressional Democrats.  A one-time amnesty when the illegal immigrant population was considerably smaller - and manageable - and far less criminal - with the understanding funding would be forthcoming to secure our southern border. 

They lied, no funding.  Oh sure, they passed the bills - they got Reagan to sign them, and they could tell their constituents they voted to secure the border.  They just never passed the funding for it.


Trump has no idea what he's in for if he thinks he's going to 'do deals' with these people

[PB the Deplorable]

At least it went through Congress.  That was in the pre-Obama era when immigration laws had to go through Congress and be signed by the President. 

Dear Leader just makes decrees on it as he wishes now. 

So, you know, Reagan baaad, Obama good

Thank you for telling us what everyone here already knows. Did you know Art has a FaceBook page where he gives updates? Also Keith Rowland and Heather Wade has kept us updated on Art's status. What world do you live in?

Sorry, the horns didn't quite fit in the photo.

THEbobo17ONE has now successfully done the Art gimmick longer than Art did his last gimmick.

credit for that.

SPOILERS - within a  couple of weeks, bobo17 will end up in the hospital with pneumonia

Indeed. Reagan signed the Congressional Omnibus Bill of 1986 BELIEVING that the Dems would secure the border.
They did not. Go figure.

No, "Stretch" Pelosi will not work with him.

No one twisted Reagan's arm to do that.  I remember, I lived through those times.

You don't understand history if you single out Reagan.

The buck stops somewhere.  He has to be held responsible for his actions.  No one is perfect. 

Bill Clinton balanced the budget and cut welfare in half.  He also gave us NAFTA and Waco.

Deflection. You never even clicked the link.

Ha!  I don't think the buck has stopped anywhere within the beltway since this guy.  The political scum of today generally believe accepting responsibility for ANYTHING is the kiss of death for their personal ambitions.  Maybe it is.  It's a shame, though, they're willing to sell their soul at the expense of the country.

[PB the Deplorable]

No one twisted Reagan's arm to do that.  I remember, I lived through those times.

Go back and read the link to that NY Times article, unless you think the Times is a Reaganite rag.  Go look at the ACLU website, where they brag about getting people out of mental institutions.  They think this is a 'civil rights' issue and are very proud of their actions to this day. 

After getting those people out and on the streets, the facilities were empty.  No one was coming around for their meds.  The federal government is just supposed to keep spending on unused facilities?  Keep paying staff and running up bills? 

The fact is, this disaster was exploding just as Reagan was coming into office. 

Too often credit and blame go to whoever is president at the time, without looking any further to see what really happened.   Especially when we have a Media eager to assign blame to those they don't like and give credit to those they do like.  Too many people either don't pay attention beyond that, or are not sophisticated enough to understand it, or are sympathetic to the Libs anyway and are only too eager to believe what they hear because they want it to be true.


A larger issue is when memories of details dim over time, people tend to remember what the Media tells them to remember, they recall things the re-writers of history want them to recall.  The Left, the Libs, their allies in the Media and academia hated Reagan.  All the more so because he was enormously successful on the heels of Carter's failed presidency.  They didn't tell the truth about Reagan then, or now.  You might want to ask yourself how it is he won 49 states in his re-election if he was as terrible as he's portrayed by his enemies.

[ItsOver]

Thank you, Paper*Boy!

[PB the Deplorable]

... Bill Clinton balanced the budget...

No he didn't.  The Media gave him credit for that.

Newt Gingrich and the newly elected Republican Congress held the spending line, AGAINST the demands of Bill Clinton.  In fact I remember the government being 'shut down' for a few days most years during the budget face-offs while they argued about it.  Oh yes, I lived through it too.  Somehow Big Media doesn't remind us of what it took to balance the budget, they just attack whoever doesn't want to examine spending.

Reagan's economic policies gave us the revolution in communications, in computing, in bio-tech - the investment and employment in those sectors, and the spillover into the rest of the economy is what led the economy in the 1990s, not anything Bill Clinton did.  He just happened to be president, and the Media was only too happy to give him the credit.


Don't agree with that?  Since you 'lived through it', why don't you give us several of the main Clinton policies that created the economic boom and the balanced budget?  I'd really like to hear what they were.  Please be specific

[ItsOver]

No, "Stretch" Pelosi will not work with him.

A big 10-4 on that one.  Their manifesto doesn't allow such a thing.

[CornyCrow]

Deflection. You never even clicked the link.

I feel no obligation to read the entire thing.  It begins -

    " Combined with a sharp rise in homelessness during the 1980s, Ronald Reagan pursued a policy toward the treatment of mental illness that satisfied special interest groups and the demands of the business community, but failed to address the issue: the treatment of mental illness. "

I don't see what, in this, counters what I've said.  He placated groups.  We(Royal 'we') knew that.   

[CornyCrow]

Ha!  I don't think the buck has stopped anywhere within the beltway since this guy.  The political scum of today generally believe accepting responsibility for ANYTHING is the kiss of death for their personal ambitions.  Maybe it is.  It's a shame, though, they're willing to sell their soul at the expense of the country.

It's bigger, in my opinion, than the greedy politicians of the US.  I think that's short-sighted.  I think similar problems are being experienced in ALL Western, progressive, countries.  It is corporate interests overtaking the civilized world.  They are controlling more and more of every government against the interests of the people.  Look at Merkel's insanity, pledging to take in more and more refugees in spite of increased crime by them.  Norway and Sweden are shocked by the culture clash. 

This is a BIG movement that seems to have been settled outside of the public domain.  Our politicians are not the top honchos who have made such decisions. 

You can see that the world is marching to that scenario (1984?) in which loyalty will eventually be ONLY to your corporation while national boundaries or loyalty or cultural differences will be no more.  Nothing that I can see seems to be stopping this.  Getting a particular politician elected or moved out of office is a very small temporary throwback.

The way I remember it, new drugs were invented which would control many of the seriously mentally ill.  People were saying that, so long as they took their drugs they'd be safe to be out and about with the public.  Prior to the drug inventions many of those released would have been locked up, considered a threat to themselves or other.  Yes, so the doors of institutions were opened, as it was deemed a cheaper alternative to locking a person away for life.  These were PUBLIC institutions and those making the financial decisions were paid bureaucrats.  Regan merely rubber stamped a cost saving measure.

Disturbing...scarry expereince

All
Last night as i was walking between my house and the barn creasy and machu are stabled in, i saw a man kind of crowched down. All of the sudden i heard shots and hit the ground quickly.  I did not get a good enouf look at the man, but shots were fire at me.
