In today’s completely stunning decision, the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act’s individual mandate.

The Delusional Deception of ObamaCare

By DMinor on Jun 25, 2012 in 2012 Election News, DMinor, Health Care Reform, In The News, Legislation, Opinion, Politics

The repetitive harmonious theme from Barack Obama’s presidential campaign in 2008 was “hope” and “change”. Two hundred days into the new administration, change had occurred, but there had been little, if any hope at all. It started with a stimulus bill that did very little to revive a frail and sinking economy and a bailout [...]

As a former resident of New Jersey, I’m ecstatic to see what current Governor Chris Christie is doing for the state.

Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer’s interview with Chuck Todd on The Daily Rundown was the typical liberal jargon that is commonly seen on MSNBC. However, this time the political opportunism amongst Senate Democrats was palpable, especially with this “fair pay” business. We’ve all heard the statistics that women make only 77 cents for every dollar a [...]
