ObamaCare Was Designed to Explode — Dems Want Single-Payer
There were two big winners when the House failed to take up the President Donald Trump-backed bill to repeal and replace Obamacare: Barack Obama, who saw Obamacare stand; and Dr. Ben Carson, who was smart enough to pick Housing and Urban Development over Health and Human Services.
The Congressmen and the Counselor
Tony Hall served in Congress for nearly 24 years, representing Ohio’s 3rd District. The Democrat left in 2002 to serve as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Agencies for Food and Agriculture, appointed by President George W. Bush.
She’s Back!
Hillary Clinton emerged from the woods Tuesday night to deliver what some described as “her first major post-elect speech.” As might be expected, her remarks to the Professional Businesswomen of California sounded like so much of the angry feminism that has come to dominate the left.
A Health Care Plan So Simple, Even a Republican Can Understand!
It’s always impossible to repeal laws that require Ann to pay for greedy people, because the greedy run out on the streets wailing that the Republicans are murdering them.
End the Filibuster’s Power of Obstruction

The Left’s Sanctuary Cities Hurt Americans’ Safety

Party Favors, Courtesy of the House Freedom Caucus
Short-term loss or long-term win? That’s what analysts are starting to ask about the sudden collapse of the health care bill last Friday.
When Does Trump Become the Establishment?

Trump Touts Jobs
Ford announced plans Tuesday to invest more than $1 billion in three Michigan plants, potentially creating hundreds of new jobs.

Benjamin Crump: TV’s Rising Fake News Star
He’s the new Al Sharpton on steroids — and he’s coming to a TV near you.
Eradicating Election Fraud
How people feel about voter fraud often breaks down along partisan lines. Most conservatives feel that it’s a serious problem, while liberals tend to scoff. They either claim that it doesn’t happen, or that it doesn’t happen enough to make a real difference. Tell that to William Gardner. New Hampshire’s secretary of state is a Democrat who wants to rid the Granite State of what he calls “drive-by voting” — a type of fraud in which people from out of state come for a short period to vote on Election Day.
Freedom Caucus, Today’s Abolitionists
The House Freedom Caucus and its chairman, North Carolina Republican Congressman Mark Meadows, are taking flak, many saying they are responsible for the failure to pass the American Health Care Act.
Paul Ryan a Convenient Scapegoat for Trump’s Failure
President Trump should walk across a Havana ballroom like Michael Corleone in “The Godfather Part II,” kiss Ryan on the mouth and say, “I know it was you, Paul. You broke my heart.”
ObamaCare Repeal: Broken Promises by a President, a Party and Its Politicians
It was March 23, 2010. One of the most contentious political battles in recent American history was over. President Obama had just signed into law his signature legislation: the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare.
When Presidents Break Big Promises
“The biggest broken promise in political history” is how Philip Klein of the Washington Examiner characterized last week’s Republican health care fiasco.
