Public Has a Right to See Trump Ad
Betsy McCaughey, Television stations around the country are running an ad claiming the Obamacare repeal bill passed in the House will deprive cancer patients and pregnant women of affordable coverage. The ad, paid for by the group Save My Care, is loaded with lies. Yet television giants ABC, CBS, NBC and CNN refuse to air
Cleaning Up Democrats’ Healthcare Mess
Susan Stamper Brown, Last time they were in charge, Democrats created the dumpster fire we know as Obamacare, the Affordable Care Act, which is nothing more than a failed wealth redistribution experiment. Historians will look back at the Obama years and note the rise of Democrat Party lemmings who threw themselves off the Obamacare Cliff
More cities offering to pay legal defense for illegal immigrants
Sacramento became the latest city this week to go above and beyond ‘sanctuary’ policies by approving the use of taxpayer dollars to support the legal defense of illegal immigrants facing deportation.

Health care bill passes in House, Trump and GOP finally come together
Liz Peek, GOP members of the House finally climbed aboard the Trump Train. It’s about time. Putting aside their posturing and pontificating, Republicans at long last produced a win for the Trump White House and for Americans, passing a bill to replace ObamaCare. This was a central promise of the past several years; they needed
Liberals Pining for (Single-Payer) Universal Medicaid-for-All
Devon Herrick, If you talk to an aging hippy or a young hipster about health reform, you no doubt have heard them sing the praise of the simpleton idea described simply as single-payer health insurance. It is currently in vogue for these faux enlightened folks to matter-of-factly announce single-payer should replace Obamacare. Even socialist Bernie
Give Trump 130 days: President’s tax plan is his biggest test (and biggest opportunity)
Liz Peek, Forget the 100 day reckoning; let’s give President Trump 130 days instead. Here’s why: the president is on the cusp of achieving nothing less than a once-in-a-generation tax cut that will boost the U.S. economy out of its 8-year rut and restore the nation’s competitiveness. It won’t pass in the next four weeks,
Miffed over border wall talk, top Mexican official floats American entry fee

Cuomo’s ‘Free College’ Gambit Exacts a Heavy Price
Robert Holland, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) may figure that becoming the first governor to champion and sign “free four-year college” legislation will give him a campaign slogan sure to appeal to fans of the socialist heartthrob of the 2016 presidential campaign, Bernie Sanders, if Cuomo decides to run in 2020. Unfortunately for Cuomo,
Earth Day: Green Energy Poverty Week
Paul Driessen, April 22 is Earth Day, the March for Science and Lenin’s birthday (which many say is appropriate, since environmentalism is now green on the outside and red, anti-free enterprise on the inside). April 29 will feature the People’s Climate March. The Climate March website says these forces of “The Resistance” intend to show
Congress Considers Taxing 401(K) Contributions
Hank Berrien, Here’s the height of hypocrisy: members of Congress, who share in a pension system fully funded by taxpayers, are thinking of cutting the benefits of contributing to a 401(k) and similar retirement plans. Members of Congress participate in the Federal Employees Retirement System. How valuable is that? The Wall Street Journal reports: In 2015,
Arrogant Pols, Go Home!

Still, Utah’s senior senator announced last week that he intends to run yet again — for an eighth term. Why? Our newly-elected president “is
