Buried deep within Obamacare’s 2,801 pages, are provisions for a massive taxpayer-funded bailout of insurance companies. Specifically, Section 1341 creates a fund to cover more than $20 billion of losses insurance providers will suffer for covering people with specific high risk health problems, as required by Obamacare. This is a fee collected from insurers and […]
Yesterday marked the five year anniversary of President Obama’s federal stimulus, and I hate to say ‘I told you so,’ but it comes as no surprise to conservatives that it was a total failure. On February 17, 2009, President Obama signed the stimulus into law and promised it marked “the beginning of the end” of […]
Since 1917, Congress has asserted its constitutional authority to dictate just how America will finance its debt by statutorily limiting how much debt the Treasury Department can issue. In theory, the debt ceiling is there to ensure that public debt is not recklessly piled up without Congress periodically acknowledging it and addressing out-of-control spending patterns. […]
After flirting with the idea of pushing amnesty for illegal immigrants, Speaker John Boehner reportedly put the brakes on this effort late this week. Something finally became clear to him that we knew all along: conservatives don’t want amnesty, and we didn’t send Republicans to Washington, D.C. to focus on rewarding illegal behavior.

Today marks one hundred and three years since Ronald Reagan was born in a second floor apartment in Tampico, Illinois. Little did his parents know they were raising the man who would be one of the greatest presidents in our nation’s history, and the world would be a better place because Ronald Reagan was the […]
January 23rd marked one year since then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s Capitol Hill testimony about the events that transpired in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012. A year after her testimony, Americans are still waiting for basic answers about what exactly happened that day when four brave Americans lost their lives and why. Read more […]
Yesterday marked the four year anniversary of our victory at the U.S. Supreme Court, and miraculously the world is still spinning on its axis. You wouldn’t know this, however, if you were simply relying on blogs on the left for your news and information. Four years later, they simply can’t get over the fact that […]
It’s becoming exceedingly rare as a conservative to be able to say this, but I am proud of two specific Members of Congress today: Congressmen Matt Salmon and Ron DeSantis. Why, do you ask? I am so very proud to see two members of Congress rejecting preferential nonsense in Congress by proposing a 28th constitutional […]
An excerpt in Politico from the to-be-released book, HRC: State Secrets and the Rebirth of Hillary Clinton, provides some fascinating insight as to the extent Hillary Clinton and her team went to make an enemies list. As her 2008 presidential campaign was ending, two of her employees were kept on staff to build a detailed […]
Today marks the 25th anniversary of President Ronald Reagan’s farewell address to the nation. I sincerely hope I’m not the only person who’s writing to commemorate the occasion. I just watched it again – twenty or so minutes in length – and I recommend you do the same, because each time I watch the speech, […]
In December, President Obama spent over half the month vacationing on the island of Oahu. The month also saw the weakest job growth since the start of 2011 with only 74,000 jobs added. You will hear the Mainstream Media mention that the unemployment rate has fallen (for the first time since November of 2008) below […]
Way back in May 2013, Citizens United called for the appointment of a special counsel to investigate the IRS political targeting scandal. My op-ed calling for the special counsel was entitled “A Special Counsel No-Brainer.” It was clear to me then and remains clear to me today that a Barack Obama and Eric Holder controlled […]
