As Milton Friedman always said, governments cause inflation. Thus, the government is behind the massive increase in college tuition. That affects a lot of people, but what affects even more is health care. Join me as I explain how the falsely named Affordable Care Act (ACA) (Obamacare) and Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) have caused massive inflation in healthcare and health insurance costs since 2009. In 2009, when the average cost of an individual health policy was under $100 and family coverage was under $400, democrats decided that health insurance cost too much, and too many didn’t have coverage. Therefore, without any Republican support, they wrote a 1,000-page bill.

We all remember when Nasty Pelosi said they had to pass it before we could know what was in it and then, they made sure none of the members of Congress had to get it. Now we know why.

My husband's prescription premium just went from $28 to $78 per month. Plus he has to pay an exorbitant out of pocket amount for Eliquis.

Republicans are on the right path trying to eliminate fraud. When Louisiana got the Medicaid investors bought doctors medical practices and built them beautiful offices with all the latest equipment. When I go to the Dr with my not so great medical insurance for a cold I pay 100 copay, get a quick look over by the Dr, he listens to my chest, makes me cough and sends me on with a couple of prescriptions @20 each. When my friend who is on Medicaid goes to the same Dr for a cold he gets a chest X-ray, bloodwork, breathing treatments, a fistful of prescriptions and a follow up appointment in a week. John Bell Edwards, the former Democratic governor got Louisiana into the Medicaid expansion and 1/3 of the people in Louisiana are on it. When Republican and very conservative Jeff Landry was running for governor one of his 1st promises was he wouldn’t roll back the Medicaid expansion because he knew he he’d loose if he ran on a platform to repeal it. What he’s doing is removing Dr’s from the program that milk the system, my Dr got kicked off of the program. When I went there last time I was one of 3 people in the waiting room whereas there use to be 40. Work requirements and rooting out fraud are really the only tools the republicans have to work with at this point and they know it. The ACA is like the Hotel California, you can check in but you can never leave.

Too many people were led to believe that universal health care was a good thing. With big pharma, big medicine and the extremely profitable insurance industry sucking health care dollars up like leaves and rampant fraud being the norm, the whole system has become unaffordable and the taxpayers have once again been fleeced by the democrats.

All of us should protest outside of one of Obama's mansions (while he is home) carrying signs asking when our medical insurance premiums are going to go down by $2500. Better yet, outside of his hideously expensive library. Also, residents of San Francisco should stop Pelosi on the street and ask her the same question.

Mayor Eric Adams’ decision to end his mayoral campaign is unsurprising. The scandal-tarred incumbent was running a poor fourth in most polls and had no chance of re-election. His choice nonetheless can have important repercussions. His withdrawal was the first domino to fall in the series of events Andrew Cuomo needs to have any shot of beating Zohran Mamdani in November. The polls clearly show how hard Cuomo’s task is. The Real Clear Politics polling average has Mamdani ahead by a whopping 18.7 percentage points. More importantly, it shows Mamdani receiving 44.4% of the total vote. That’s already likely to be enough to win in anything short of a two-man race.

Left-Wing Terrorism Has Been Unleashed 6 replies

For years, we were told by government officials and outside “experts” that the terrorists in our midst were mostly right-wing fanatics – a list that under the Biden administration came to include parents who spoke up at local school board meetings and Catholics who like the Latin mass. But even the left is now admitting what everyone else already knows. Namely, that despite their constant bleating about tolerance and peace, it’s leftists who pose the greatest threat to Americans. This week, the Trump-hating Atlantic magazine published an article titled “Left-Wing Terrorism Is on the Rise,” written by scholars at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).

Death Penalty for Kirk Assassin? Bad Idea 38 replies
Posted by FlyRight 9/23/2025 4:45:22 AM Post Reply
I am not opposed to using the death penalty for specific heinous crimes. Certainly, it was warranted for Timothy McVeigh, and Charlie Kirk’s killing was indeed heinous. However, the alleged assassin is Tyler Robinson and that gives me pause, because there are thousands of Tylers out there ready to make him a martyr. This hate-filled, deluded, brainwashed community has been groomed deliberately by a Machiavellian academia since the 1960s. There was a time when public education institutions were staffed with unbiased professors and educated their students with genuine facts and encouraged independent thought. That was back then.

The radical left’s late-night propaganda machine took a massive hit this week as Jimmy Kimmel’s show was yanked from the airwaves following his despicable lies about the assassination of conservative icon Charlie Kirk. And now, in a delicious twist of poetic justice, ABC affiliates are set to replace the dirtbag comedian’s time slot with a heartfelt special tribute to Kirk himself. On Wednesday, Nexstar announced that all 32 of its ABC broadcast affiliates will preempt “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” indefinitely, blasting Kimmel’s sick comments about Kirk’s murder as “offensive and insensitive.”

What some now call the "pro-Palestine movement" in the West is, in many respects, the residue of decades of KGB-backed manipulation. The cultural self-hatred, moral relativism, and selective outrage that dominate today's progressive circles were seeded by Soviet strategists who understood that eroding Western confidence from within could be more decisive than any tank battalion. Between June 2015 and May 2017, Facebook identified roughly $100,000 in advertising spending tied to Russian operators — around 3,000 ads and 470 fake accounts.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) have come out against a Republican stopgap spending bill as Congress edges towards a shutdown. House Republican leaders on Tuesday released the text for a stopgap funding bill that would set aside tens of millions of dollars for security assistance for lawmakers and federal officials amid heightened concerns about political violence after the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk. The stopgap funding bill, otherwise known as a continuing resolution (CR), would seek to avert a government shutdown on October 1 and keep the government open through November 21.

Some Democratic senators say they are deeply concerned that a Pentagon plan to allow military lawyers to work as temporary immigration judges will violate a ban on using service members for law enforcement and affect the military justice system. The letter, sent to the military services and provided to The Associated Press, comes two weeks after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth approved sending up to 600 military lawyers to the Justice Department to serve as temporary immigration judges. It is part of the steps the Trump administration has taken to use the military in broader ways than previously seen, particularly in its immigration crackdown,

“Epic” is how a lengthy article in the Wall Street Journal last week described the current investment in AI. In today’s dollars, it dwarfs the investment in the railways in the 1800s. It dwarfs the investment in electrifying America in the early 1900s. It dwarfs the investment in the interstate highway system in the mid-1900s. It dwarfs the investments in the internet at the end of the last century. So, went the gist of the Journal’s article, it must all be an investment bubble – right? – that will come crashing down the way Pets.com and other internet stocks did.

Earlier that day, Roberts had evaded arrest from immigration officers; he was superintendent of the Des Moines Public Schools system, according to KCCI-TV in Iowa. After catching him, Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Roberts possessed an illegally-owned pistol, which he carried in a school-issued car. He also reportedly had $3,000 cash and a fixed-blade hunting knife. Upon news of his arrest, leftists on social media called for an emergency protest, KCCI-TV reported Saturday.

One of the big news stories yesterday was the arrest of the Des Moines, Iowa, superintendent who was overseeing the state’s largest school system, and drawing a substantial taxpayer-funded salary, even though a deportation order was out for him, and he is in the country illegally. Guess who hired him? Turns out the chair of the Des Moines school board Jackie Norris, who recently launched her campaign for United States Senate, is a former chief of staff for Michelle Obama. And she thought it would be a fabulous idea to have an illegal alien take a taxpayer-funded job and have the power to influence tens of thousands of children’s education.
