This should make the people who support the mentally ill very mad, and create some lawsuits and demonstrations (that will turn violent, as usual) After consultation with my Generals and military experts, please be advised that the United States Government will not accept or allow…… — Donald J.

Revamp. What a great word. One definition is “an act of improving the form, structure, or appearance of something.” Some synonyms are overhaul, refurbish, repair, and update. And that’s the word the front page of Fox News (mostly an AP article) uses in their headline (but not in the single story page), which is perfect […]

What a shame, the Senate’s terrible, no good, does-not-actually-repeal-Obamacare plan, similar to the House’s does-not-actually-repeal-Ocare plan, has collapsed, as it has not garnered the necessary support. Talking Point Memo’s Tierney Sneed plays it straight in reporting what comes next (interestingly, the article from the hardcore left site is more straight news than most of the […]

This is cute.

What’s she has unintentionally pointed out is worse, at least for those who have been voting Republican Senate Republicans exempt own health coverage from part of latest proposal Senate Republicans included a provision that exempts members of Congress and their staff from […]

It’s not repeal. It’s not replace. It’s dink and dunk, making a few changes. What will the revised plan look like? (The Hill) Senate Republican leaders are moving forward this week on legislation to repeal and replace major parts of ObamaCare despite divisions within their conference. Leaders will brief rank-and-file Republican senators Tuesday during their […]

If you want to deter crime, is it best to make lots and lots of arrests after the crimes have occurred, or find a way to deter people from committing the crimes in the first place? That’s correct, you attempt to dissuade people from doing it first. Hence, a huge part of the plan Trump […]

Mr. Trump apparently said something pretty darned controversial while speaking in Poland Thursday. He talked about “our values” and “Western values”. This has led many on the left to have conniption fits, including the Editorial Board of the Washington Post Trump wants us to defend ‘our values.’ Which ones? “DO WE have the confidence in […]

Who would have thought that if one talks tough on immigration, suggests tough immigration policy, enacts tough immigration policy, and enforces the law on immigration, illegal immigration goes down (Washington Times) President Donald Trump’s immigration policies – even those not yet fully in effect – are already a huge success. How do we know? Well, […]
