Before you yawn and click – this is not your ordinary article about the omnibus bill. In fact, it should cause bells to go off in the heads of every liberty-minded Second Amendment lover.
Results for "Democrats"
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.
Corrine Brown: Another Corrupt Member of the James Brown Wig Club
When the U.S. government indicts a Democratic congresswoman with twenty-two counts of wire and mail fraud, government theft and filing false tax returns that result in an embarrassing loss of a Congressional seat, previously held for twelve terms, what’s that girl to do? Well, as every woman knows – shopping therapy is most assuredly in order.

James Comey In the Crosshairs Again
The Democrats just can’t seem to move on. Their first stage of grief – denial — seems to be lasting an eternity. On Tuesday, Hillary Clinton told one of her strongest supporters over at CNN, “If the election had been on October 27, I would be your president.”
Damage Control And The Border Wall Follies
The border wall — or the lack thereof — is the newest frustration with the Trump Administration. Will it get built? James Fite actually read the bill, and lays out the plan.
Gary Cohn: Another Liberal Fox In The Trump Henhouse
When President Trump revealed the broad strokes of his plan for tax reform on April 26th, he did not address the nation personally. Instead, he had two of his staff brief the press. Secretary of the Treasury Steve Mnuchin was joined by a man named Gary Cohn to present the outline of the president’s plan on taxes. Mr. Cohn is no friend of the working man, however. His presence at that podium is cause for concern for libertarians and conservatives alike.
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.
100 Days: The Surveillance State and Trump
Many people who were aghast at the idea of Hillary “Hack My Emails Please” Clinton in the Oval Office saw Donald Trump as the one who would preserve liberty. Trump himself claimed to value privacy, and took to Twitter to condemn the fact that his own affairs were spied on by the government before the election. But is he really in favor of the constitutional right to privacy, or is he furthering the surveillance state? And how have his actions as President in this first one hundred days lined up with his campaign promises on the privacy front?
