Imagine the money America would save if liberals understood a little concept called the "separation of powers." Instead, they clog the courts with cases hoping that judges won't interpret the law, but rewrite it in a way that elected representatives refuse to! And while some courts are all too willing to comply, others — like the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals — are leaving the legislating to Congress.
Getting it done isn't as nearly as important as getting it right. That's the message conservatives are trying to communicate to House leaders on the biggest order of business in seven years: repealing Obamacare.
President Obama wasn't just opposed to abstinence — he practiced it when it came to funding conservative sex ed. For eight years, he poured millions of dollars down the drain of "comprehensive" sex education, unraveling President Bush's positive progress on teen pregnancy in the process.
Most Republicans would probably agree — putting a health care plan on paper was the easy part. Getting the party on board with it is another story. But repealing 974 pages of Obamacare shouldn't be too difficult.
Monday, Speaker Ryan and the House Republicans, with the support of President Trump, released the American Health Care Act — a single bill that would repeal key provisions of Obamacare and replace it with more conservative solutions.
Gender-free bathrooms are being debated in a lot of places — except, we learned yesterday, the U.S. Supreme Court. In a one sentence order, the eight justices on America's highest bench pulled out of the fray, sending the highest profile case back to the lower courts — and liberals back to the drawing board. For the Left, which relies on the courts to do what lawmakers will not, it was a huge blow to an agenda the majority of America rejects.
Liberals are constantly saying that people should have freedom regardless of "who they love." But what if that person is God? Aaron and Melissa Klein are just two of the dozens of victims who've lost their business for daring to believe that the government should respect *their* relationship — with Christ. Thursday, after three long years of fighting for the same rights the Constitution guarantees them, the bakers finally got their day in court.
How great is the threat to religious liberty? Just ask Aaron and Melissa Klein. The parents of five were before the Oregon Court of Appeals yesterday with their family's livelihood on the line all for the right to live and work according to their faith.
It's safe to say that whatever preconceived notions Americans had about President Trump's first major address to the country went flying out the Capitol windows Tuesday night.
President Obama may be gone, but his ghost continues to haunt the thousands of rules still governing how the agencies do business. A few days after the Trump White House shipped the school bathroom debate back to states, another transgender holdover from the 44th president cropped up.
The media may disagree on the job Donald Trump's doing, but the American people sure don't. By massive margins, they have nothing but praise for the president's handling of Obama's transgender mandate.
The media must have gone to Nancy Pelosi's school of politics: We have to criticize the decision before we know what's in it! Together with Hollywood, the hysteria over President Trump's announcement on school showers and bathrooms is so deafening that it's drowning out the practical effect of the move. Of course, that's by design.
When liberals put together their bathroom agenda, I guarantee there's one word that never came up: Congress. Like the rest of its LGBT agenda, the Left knows it has no chance of convincing leaders that it's a good idea to force boys and girls to shower together, bunk together on school trips, and use the same locker rooms and bathrooms. So the Left turned to the playbook that's delivered the most success: a mix of executive overreach and judicial activism.
It's been a rough month for Barack Obama. At his old office, President Trump is keeping the shredders busy with his predecessor's radical policies and orders. Brick by brick, the White House is deconstructing the legacy of the Obama years — scrubbing everything from overseas abortion funding to dangerous immigration postures. Today, the Trump team may be adding a new guidance to the trash heap: Obama's hugely controversial shower and bathroom order.
Looks like the NBA's razzle dazzle over transgender locker rooms and bathrooms hasn't excited basketball fans. In a knee-jerk reaction last summer, the NBA yanked its 2017 All-Star game out of North Carolina because state leaders put the safety of women and children above the political pandering of the Charlotte mayor and city council. But if the move was meant to punish North Carolina, it backfired. Big time.
Even President Obama used to say "God bless America." But when it comes to someone actually *asking* God's blessing, liberals lose it. Exhibit A: This weekend's Trump rally in Florida. Before the president spoke, he invited his wife to the podium to say a few words. When those words were the Lord's Prayer, the crowd erupted in cheers.
Donald Vander Boon has been operating a meatpacking center in Michigan for almost 15 years — but thanks to the federal government, it's his freedom that's getting butchered. The Christian family, who proudly says on their website that the company "seeks to glorify and honor God in all we do," were shocked to find out during a visit by the USDA that it wasn't their beef that was being inspected but their beliefs.
Barronelle Stutzman may be a small-town florist, but she's planting plenty of national doubts about religious liberty. While liberal designers are celebrated for refusing to dress the First Lady, Christians continue to be hauled to court for asking for those same rights.
Lady Gaga, Sting and Britney Spears are putting on a quite a performance — but it has nothing to do with their music. The trio, along with more than 100 other actors and musicians, are playing a convincing role in the Left's misinformation campaign over the Texas Privacy Act.
Under the Obama administration, things weren't exactly sunny for a string of island nations in the Caribbean.
