Liberals shrieked last week when President Trump proposed cutting American funding for the United Nations by 50 percent. Trump dismisses the United Nations as a “waste of time and money.” That’s the least of it. US taxpayers bankroll the organization to the tune of $10 billion a year. Our hard-earned money perpetuates an organization that

Ignore the grandstanding on Capitol Hill and the noise coming from town-hall protests around the nation. The Republican bill to repeal and replace ObamaCare will boost your chances of getting a job and cut your tax bill, not to mention your insurance costs. The repeal bill — called the American Health Care Act — also

If you want to start a business, the World Bank says you’d be better off in Canada than setting up shop here in the United States, where mind-numbing government regulations smother entrepreneurs. That was true, anyway, before Donald Trump became president. In his address to Congress last week, Trump announced that a “historic effort to

‘ObamaCare is collapsing,” President Trump warned the nation in his Tuesday night speech. “Action is not a choice — it is a necessity.” Democratic lawmakers sat on their hands, and after the speech falsely accused Republicans of wanting to “rip affordable health insurance away from millions.” Sorry, the Affordable Care Act is in a death

  What’s the biggest killer in hospitals? Secrecy. That’s the takeaway from the feds – specifically, the Government Accountability Office and the Food and Drug Administration. Both agencies report that hospitals are failing to disclose when medical devices injure or kill patients by spreading cancer cells throughout their bodies or infecting them with superbugs. Federal

The Affordable Care Act is in a “death spiral,” warns Aetna CEO Mark Bertolini. Premiums have doubled since the end of 2013, and yet insurers are rapidly exiting the individual market, leaving consumers in many parts of the nation at risk of having no coverage. Washington politicians have 10 weeks to produce a remedy. That’s

On Saturday, Democratic Sens. Chuck Schumer and Bernie Sanders called for nationwide protests to stop Republicans from repealing the Affordable Care Act. The trigger event was Friday’s confirmation of Dr. Tom Price as President Trump’s secretary of health and human services. Price is tasked fulfilling Trump’s promise to repeal and replace ObamaCare. Already, protests against

Senate Democrats on Tuesday lost the battle to stop President Trump’s pick for secretary of education. But on bigger battles ahead, the Democrats have a powerful weapon — and they intend to use it. Republicans control both houses of Congress and the White House. Yet Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer boasts that he can block

Public schools beleaguered by waves of refugees will get a breather thanks to President Trump’s executive order suspending refugee entry for 120 days. And under Trump’s new policy, when the US reopens its doors to refugees, local communities will be consulted. That beats the Obama administration’s dictatorial approach, which has overwhelmed many school districts. Until

Congressional Republicans are huddling at a closed-door retreat this week to craft a replacement for the Affordable Care Act, but it’s President Trump who’s calling the shots. On Friday, hours after taking office, he issued his first executive order. No surprise, it targeted ObamaCare, instructing federal agencies to do everything possible while the ACA is
