Tuesday, Jonathan Gruber, the MIT economist caught repeatedly on video calling the American public “stupid” and claiming deception was essential to pass ObamaCare was dragged before the House Oversight Committee for a grilling. But he was a stand-in for the real culprit: President Obama. Lying about the health law originated at the top. In 2008,

On Thanksgiving eve, the Obama administration dumped reams of mind-numbing ObamaCare regulations into the Federal Register — including yet more unilateral rewrites of the Affordable Care Act. Dropping the rules as most Americans were busy preparing for the holiday made a mockery (again) of President Obama’s promise to have “the most transparent administration in history.”

We have two major parties in the nation now: the Republican Party and the Banana Republic Party, otherwise known as Democrats. The difference between them is over the rule of law. When President Obama appointed judges without Senate approval, made environmental law without Congress and rewrote his health law two dozen times, Republicans protested that

Sharon Helman, the face of the Veterans Administration scandal, finally got sacked on Monday. Helman was the director of the Phoenix VA, where vets needing medical care languished on secret lists. It took seven months to fire her. So much for the “VA reform” law that Congress passed last August. Nearly all the managers guilty

On November 4, voters fired the Democratic majority in the U.S. Senate, replacing it with a GOP majority that campaigned against Obamacare and big spending. But the Democrats who lost are still running the show. These lame ducks lack the moral authority to govern. They shouldn’t be allowed to do any more than the bare

When the Senate Appropriations Committee meets today, the Obama administration will mount a full-court press to foist its whopping $6.2 billion “emergency” EbolaCare spending plan on taxpayers. That’s $6.2 billion with a “b” – six times what the United Nations said it needs to end the Ebola crisis in West Africa. The White House is

President Obama lied to sell ObamaCare, and lately he’s using double talk to sell EbolaCare, his risky response to the virus sweeping West Africa. Sadly, he’s turning the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, once a trusted agency, into a public relations arm of the White House lie machine. On Oct. 23, the CDC website

President Barack Obama and Kaci Hickox, a nurse who returned from treating Ebola patients in Sierra Leone on October 24, are attacking states’ efforts to keep returning health-care workers away from the public for 21 days. Governors in New Jersey, Illinois, Maine, Connecticut, and other states say it’s a wise precaution to prevent the virus from possibly

On Monday, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention head Thomas Frieden unveiled a new policy for health-care workers returning from Ebola-plagued West Africa. Yesterday, President Obama defended that policy, claiming it is based on science, not fear. Sorry. The administration’s halfway approach is based on political correctness. It ignores the science. According to Frieden, every
