The Freedom Caucus, Health Care and the US Senate
In what could certainly be considered a symbolic victory for President Donald Trump, the second incarnation of the American Healthcare Act (AHCA) squeaked through a vote in the House of Representatives Thursday afternoon. Without a single Democrat vote, the bill was passed 217-213, with twenty Republicans voting against it. Although it may well not get through the Senate in its current form, a rift within the majority party has been bridged and that – in itself – is a victory for congressional Republicans who have seen so very few victories, of late.
A President At Odds With Congress
Trump’s greatest failing so far has been his unwillingness to bend congressional Republicans to his will. For the sake of a second term, he will need to find a way to out-maneuver both parties in Congress. He will need to become even more anti-government.
Trump, The NRA and The Second Amendment
As with many policy areas, Trump appears to lack an ideological position on the Second Amendment. Despite his strong expressions of support for gun-rights, he doesn’t seem to be an enthusiastic gun-rights advocate. More importantly, however, he does not have an anti-gun agenda.
100 Days: A Bigly Satire That’s Yuge
What did we learn in President Trump’s first 100 days? We learned a lot. We probably learned more than any other people who have ever learned. And we are going to keep learning. We might even learn so much that we will get tired of learning. We learned that there are now so many gender-identities to choose from that nobody knows what freakin’ bathroom to use, I can tell you.
New Information Suggests Julian Assange Was Framed
The rape charge that has hung over Assange’s head since 2010 surfaced, once again, Wednesday when his WikiLeaks entity published records of SMS messages that suggest Assange was practically framed.
Federal Judge Blocks Trump’s Attempt To Withhold Funding From Sanctuary Cities
A Federal judge in California issued a ruling on Tuesday that blocked President Donald Trump’s attempt to withhold federal funding to ‘sanctuary cities.’ Obama appointee and major fundraiser William Orrick III granted the injunction sought jointly by Santa Clara and San Francisco, California.
DNC Chairman Takes a Hard Left Turn on Abortion
New Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairman Tom Perez has had a bit of a tough weekend in the world of social media. His statement, Friday, about the party’s stance on abortion – and his implied intention to withhold support from pro-life candidates – has effectively alienated many democrat voters and even several elected Democratic politicians. His statement also represents the party’s continued shift to the extreme left.
The Hypocrisy of SJW’s and Cultural Appropriation
Yes, that’s right; for social justice warriors, the problem is free will. Every one of us should live, dress, act and speak in a manner that befits our station in life and racial heritage. The moment one chooses to step outside that boundary, one is oppressing and victimizing someone else.
