If the U.S. can’t afford to protect the environment, build bridges or teach children anymore, then what exactly is it defending with its military budget?
A 70-year-old man who watches six hours of TV a day, plays lots of golf and always seems to be in Florida is a retiree, not a president.
The pre-existing condition clause will stay, but the coverage mandate will go. So people can just wait until they get sick to buy insurance. Gee, that won’t raise premiums at all. Thanks a lot, Republicans.
An Indiana Senate resolution lets teachers teach alternative science. I hope none of these kids end up as my doctor in the future and decide to use alternative medicine.
Five thousand current food stamp recipients listed their occupation as “active duty military,” mostly young service members with children. So be careful who you call a freeloader.
How much are they paying these days to sit home and be an online hater-troll instead of getting a real job?
The president sends out a tweet over the weekend, and it is all the liberal media can talk about for the next week. Chris Matthews called it a idiotic tweet, but cant stop talking about it. Makes you wonder who the idiot is — the one tweeting or the one that can’t stop talking about it?
It’s pretty telling when you can’t even leave a phone message for Sen. Mitch McConnell. They simply can’t be bothered.

When the union requires restrictive work practices that prevent the employer from operating at a profit, then the employer has a choice to go completely out of business or relocate to a more friendly work environment.
There you go blaming unions again. Has it occurred to your narrow mind that no matter how skilled the American workers cannot compete with a Mexican minimum wage of $3.90 per day? Shut off Fox and try a dose of reality.
The GOP keeps claiming you will have “freedom” with their health care plan. It will force everyone back to the emergency room for all of their care. The last time I was there it was about $2,800. That’s not freedom.
President Trump is a master of the media. Best way to get attention off AG Sessions and Russian connection is to accuse former President Obama of an absurd claim of wiretapping. Mission accomplished, focus of news media diverted. Time to get a clue, fellas.
