As the fight over Obamacare raged in 2009, Sarah Palin coined a phrase that would draw years of ridicule from the Left. Palin warned that government-run healthcare would empower bureaucratic "death panels" to decide who received treatment and who was left to die. Leftist media outlets like The Economist dismissed Palin's claim as an "outrageous allegation," while Democratic mouthpiece Jon Meacham said it was "a lie crafted to foment opposition" to Obamacare. Yet time has a way of vindicating those scorned. Dark developments across the Western world show Palin was simply early, not wrong,

Sarah was right. The death panels are here. Renewed your supplemental Part B plans lately? And your thoughts as to what is included and excluded? Look around your plan and see for yourself. Special thanks to AI. By the way, you had to change your plan, keep an eye on your new provider. Expect some bait and switch regarding your premium. And your coverages.

Government health care gives them the ability to completely dominate the people. They can declare by simple fiat what activities are safe or not, and deny health care if one participates. No need for "common sense gun legislation", the standard euphemism for gun control. The health bureaucracy decides that firearm usage is not safe, so while of course you can keep your arms, you just won't have health care if you do. You know, safety and all that. It's an unholy, unelected, unstoppable power grab by unelected bureaucrats.

When i lived in Great Falls, MT, I had surgeries to fix blown out knees and hip replacements. Whenever I came to in the recovery room, there were usually 3-5 Canadians, having surgery for problems they had for months, that "free healthcare" was stopping them from taking care of. My wife, who is from Holland, says socialized medicine killed her parents.

Obamacare was just another liberal failure. Point that out to a liberal today and they just look at you as if you had two heads.

What an amazing country. Americans did not want Sarah Palin as Vice President but they wanted Kamala Harris. We owe John McCain a huge round of applause for Obamacare.

It is actually stomach-turning sickening (criminal would probably be more accurate) Sarah Palin was railroaded out of politics only for America to have dumb as a box of rocks Kamala Harris as VP a few years later. All of the liars were proven to be so with one simple phrase from an honest, upstanding mother from Alaska. It only took about sixteen years for some Americans to realize Sarah Palin was correct about death panels deciding who lives and who dies, while the rest of the country is still sucking on the crackpipe aka the Enemedia.

The more ridiculed, demonized or smeared a Republican is the more he/she turns out to be correct. PDT has turned out to be almost prophetic.

Barry Loudermilk, Chairman of the new House Republican-led Select Subcommittee on January 6, claims that key surveillance footage showing areas near the RNC and DNC where pipe bombs were placed the prior evening was not preserved. Republican Rep. Loudermilk (GA-11) made the jaw-dropping accusation in a recent interview. "There's still so many questions regarding this, because one of the things that has raised our eyebrows is as we go and we look for video on January 6th, because we want early morning video on January 6th to see, did anybody go back to these locations?" he said.

Macy’s Herald Square is where I took my kids to sit on Santa’s lap when they were little. So did scores of other moms, often with infants in tow. The toy department decorations are a Winter Wonderland for little kids. That’s why countless families, New Yorkers and tourists alike, have sparkly memories and the pictures to go with them from the “Miracle on 34th Street” store. Anyone who has stood on line for Santa with kids in strollers or a baby in a carrier felt extra horrified to hear that a mom changing her infant daughter’s diaper was stabbed multiple times by a mentally ill homeless person in the rest room at Macy’s.

Border Czar Tom Homan confirmed Tuesday that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is investigating allegations that Rep. Ilhan Omar’ (D-Minn.) married her brother, presumably to help him obtain US citizenship through the fraudulent marriage. “We’re pulling the records, we’re pulling the files! We’re looking at it,” Homan told Newsmax host Rob Schmitt. “I’m running that down this week.” The allegations were first reported by Minnesota-based investigative journalist David Steinberg in PJ Media in 2018. As the story goes, about 35 years ago, eight-year-old Ilhan and her family fled war-torn Somalia to Kenya’s Dadaab refugee camps, where she lived from 1991 until 1995.

ederal appeals court sided with Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on Tuesday, upholding the Trump administration’s exclusion of transgenders from military service. The 2-1 ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit reversed a previous injunction issued by Biden-appointed U.S. District Court Judge Ana Reyes, who had blocked the implementation of President Donald Trump’s executive order banning persons “who express a false gender identity divergent from their sex” from military service. “A man’s assertion that he is a woman, and his requirement that others honor this falsehood, is not consistent with the humility and selflessness required of a service member,” the E/O stated.

Christianity -- Maronite, Orthodox, Catholic, as well as other denominations -- was the dominant religion in the entire Levant before the Islamic military invasions and conquests in the seventh century. Constantinople (renamed Istanbul in 1930) was the capital of the great Christian Byzantine Empire. After defeating the Byzantine Empire in 636... the Islamic Arab Caliphate conquered Lebanon.... Today, Lebanon, like formerly Christian Turkey and Egypt, is majority-Muslim. Shia Muslims in southern Lebanon have been moving to Christian areas, increasingly displacing the Christians there.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed a Washington Post report that the agency has inked a deal for the purchase of six planes for nearly $140 million, which will aid Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in deportations, allowing them to bypass charter airlines. In a post on Wednesday on X, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin reacted to the WaPo report about DHS reaching an agreement to buy several Boeing 737 planes for deportation flights. McLauglin pointed out what she said the outlet had failed to do: that the deal is going to "save the U.S. taxpayer $279 million."

Amid an orgy of executions and the accelerating collapse of its economy, the mullahs' regime has driven the Iranian people to unprecedented levels of hardship. The latest plunge of the national currency to a historic low is not an accident of market forces, nor the consequence of global instability. It is the inevitable result of decades of plunder, corruption, and ideological fanaticism by a ruling clerical mafia whose survival depends on bleeding the nation dry. In recent days, the U.S. dollar smashed through the 1,250,000-rial threshold for the first time, shattering all previous records.

Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO) absolutely dismantled ABC’s fake news anchor George Stephanopoulos on live television. The exchange erupted over President Trump’s newly announced full pardon of former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández. On November 28, 2025, President Trump announced he would grant a full and complete pardon to former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, who was convicted in U.S. court on drug-trafficking and firearms charges. Hernández, extradited in 2022 and sentenced to 45 years in federal prison, has long argued that the Biden DOJ politically targeted him using the coerced testimony of cartel members tied to Honduras’s radical leftist Libre Party.

Sure, Rachel. Sure. Maddow, now hosting on MS NOW (the rebranded MSNBC), recently appeared on the At Our Table podcast with former DNC Chair Jaime Harrison. At one point during the interview, the conversation turned to Kamala and her nationwide book tour promoting 107 Days.

President Trump on Thursday granted Tina Peters a full pardon. Tina, a Gold Star Mother who is in poor health, is now serving nine years in a Colorado state prison for challenging the 2020 elections. The left wants her dead. Tina Peters has been found guilty on state charges and is serving time in a state prison, so the presidential pardon will not result in her immediate release. Last week, a magistrate judge dismissed Tina Peter’s habeas corpus petition seeking an early release from prison. President Trump’s close friend, former schoolmate, and attorney, Peter Ticktin, recently wrote in a letter that Tina Peters has been attacked three times by other inmates.

Weeks after her abduction, and with Israeli troops advancing in the area, a Palestinian doctor “injected air into her vein,” Noa’s father said.

It's been interesting to watch how the intensifying throes of Trump Derangement Syndrome manifest themselves in various Democrats. Even more interesting is the fact that they see these symptoms as features, not bugs. Sad, sad little creatures. The Democrats and their flying monkeys in the mainstream media have made it clear that their plan to win back voters who abandoned them last year involves only resistance to President Trump. No policy. No coherent sales pitches. Just tantrums. I should clarify: The Democrats aren't offering any policy ideas to attract American citizens who vote.

The Indiana senate rejected Thursday the Trump-backed congressional gerrymander designed to allow Republicans to capture two more House seats in what is expected to be a difficult 2026 midterm cycle. In a 19 – 31 vote, Indiana’s upper chamber shot down the House-passed gerrymander, a major defeat for President Trump given the extraordinary months-long pressure campaign he waged in favor of the new map. Hoosier state senate Republicans were deeply divided on the redistricting effort, despite national pressure to get it done.
