It boggles the mind how monstrously dumb the Republican Party can be. They ain’t called “The Stupid Party” for nothing. To wit: The GOP has spent the last seven years winning more than 1,000 elective offices up and down the ballot – in large part because Obamacare has been such an unmitigated disaster. They spent…
Obamacare’s official legislative name was, of course, “The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.” Washington, D.C. is very good at naming things. DC remains very terrible at doing things. Patients haven’t been protected by the law – they’ve been assaulted by it. And affordability was exterminated at the moment of enactment. All of the Obamacare…

Mo Brooks {R-AL} said on Tuesday that the Federal Government should not financially support the NFL because of players’ disrespectful “take a knee” protests during the National Anthem… “I believe we ought to terminate all Federal Government support of the NFL,” Brooks told Breitbart News following the conversations with conservatives…
Cronyism is a coin of the realm in Washington, D.C. Money is of course Capitol currency – DC spends $4 trillion of ours a year. Regulation also carries DC clout – the city regulates us to the tune of $2 trillion in compliance cost per annum. That’s $6 trillion worth of DC power. Which gets…

tisThe disturbing sight of team after team in the NFL “taking a knee” during the playing of the National Anthem is a direct result of incitement by former president Obama, his attorney general, Eric Holder and Democrats during the Obama years. Democrat incitement of blacks over alleged rampant racism has continued and intensified since Donald…
Those of us who understand rudimentary economics – and/or those of us who have paid any attention at all to the last half century-plus – know the government mandating maximums and minimums is a ridiculously bad idea. Republican President Richard Nixon imposed (wage and) price controls – maximums on what can be charged. How’d that…
When conservatives start talking about races, invariably conservatives start talking about the sexy races. The Senate, the House, the governor’s race. Far too often, conservatives ignore other important races, such as the race for Attorney General. In most states, the Attorney General race is looked at as a warm up for the governor’s chair.

Call Rand Paul: 202-224- 4343 Rand Paul fantasizes that he can stand on principle by voting against the Graham-Cassidy ObamaCare repeal/replace bill, and there will be no consequences. The bill would replace ObamaCare by repealing its most odious mandates and giving the money it costs the Fed to the states as block grants.…
President Trump and congressional Republicans have been all over the news – from Hurricane Harvey relief bills that raise the debt ceiling to the reform of the Affordable Care Act.
