After being resuscitated by sheer willpower, the American Health Care Act of 2017 is breathing again. Thanks to what was undoubtedly a tremendous effort by President Trump, Speaker Ryan, and several others, the plan to repeal and replace Obamacare has passed the House and now heads to the Senate. Its future is uncertain – indeed, the only thing you can be sure of is that whatever comes out of the Senate will look different than what the House sent over.
She turned and walked slowly away from the inaugural podium with a knowing smile, enveloped by the cheers of an adoring nation now transfixed on their dear leader. The shattered glass lay in shards beneath the hem of her pantsuit. It was a scene no one will ever forget.
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.
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.

The beautiful city of Kent, Washington is situated in the heart of the Seattle-Tacoma Metroplex, surrounded by an economic engine supported by Boeing, R.E.I. and Oberto (exceptional sausage jerky), and fueled by an upper middle class of citizens who recycle everything fathomable, drive hybrids, and dream of saving humanity. What appears shiny and tempting on the outside is harboring a rotting core of leftist hypocrisy that has shattered the dreams and hard work ethic of a small group of high school students.
The US House of Representatives voted narrowly for approval of the revised American Health Care Act on Thursday, finally passing legislation which had failed to gain a majority twice in recent weeks. The bill repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) passed by a vote of 217-213 – a scant one vote more than necessary – and now goes to the Senate, where it likely faces an even stiffer challenge and a fresh round of revisions.

French establishment/globalist candidate Emanuel Macron, facing a showdown with nationalist Marine Le Pen in Sunday’s presidential election, made Hillary Clinton’s deplorables remark look like polite chatter at a polo match when she she labeled Le Pen’s supporters “the true enemies” of France during Wednesday’s final presidential debate before voters cast their ballots.
