David Hogberg is a writer living in Maryland. He is author of the book, Medicare’s Victims: How the U.S. Government’s Largest Health Care Program Harms Patients and Impairs Physicians.
In his latest health care diatribe, late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel says that health care is not his “area of expertise.” Truer words have never been spoken. But before we examine the various ways he is wrong, let’s look at his complaint that Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-Slick) lied to his face when he told Kimmel […]
Well, the first weekend of the 2017 National Football League season is over and Colin Kaepernick still does not have a job. Hip, hip hooray!!! Kaepernick, the former (oh, that word is soooo lovely!) quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers spent all of last season dishonoring the United States of America by kneeling during the National Anthem. […]
It is incumbent upon conservatives to attack the ideas of Alt-Right movement. Their ideas are vile, and they can spread if not challenged. Charlottesville showed that such ideas can have deadly consequences, and we need to fight them before even more people are hurt. Additionally, the Mainstream Media will use the Alt-Right to discredit conservatives […]
Investigative journalist James Simpson has an exclusive on President Trump’s National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster: Fresh on the heels of a successful offensive in Mosul, Iraq, the Iraqi military is now poised to retake Tal Afar, long a hotbed of ISIS and other insurgent activity. Before we pulled out of Iraq, Tal Afar, like Fallujah, had […]
In recent years we’ve seen the politicization of sports, so it was probably just a matter of time before it happened to gambling. Last week Jim Murren, CEO of MGM Resorts International, sent out a “Dear Colleague” letter to his employees in the wake of the recent murders in Charlottesville and Barcelona, Spain. The letter stated “we […]
Some people look at Michael Bennett, the defensive end for the Seattle Seahawks who is now kneeling during the national anthem, and see someone who is heroic. Others look at the people working to remove Confederate statues from public parks and see people who are earnest. But what matters about such actions people isn’t whether […]
When it comes to lying, the folks at Media Matters for America just can’t help themselves. Indeed, when simply conceding the truth will do them, at worst, minimal harm, they lie. Media Matters President Angelo Carusone is the latest to display this compulsion. Calling out Media Matters’ campaign against Fox News’ Sean Hannity, The American Spectator’s Jeffrey Lord referred to the organization […]
Before I get into the meat of this post, let me recommend Peter Suderman’s excellent analysis of why the Obamacare repeal effort failed. Conservatives and libertarians will have to fight this battle again in the future. Understanding why we failed this time is key to succeeding next time. A group of Democrats and Republicans in Congress calling […]
Last week a group of moderate Republicans and Democrats calling themselves the “Problem Solvers Caucus” released a set of proposals in the wake of the GOP’s failure to repeal Obamacare. One of the proposals is supposed to “stabilize” the Obamacare exchanges. What it really amounts to, though, is forcing taxpayers to shell out even more money to […]
I’m old enough to remember when Fred Barnes wrote for The New Republic. Of course, back then Barnes wasn’t as conservative as he is now, but TNR was also a much more liberal-moderate magazine. It was far from the silly leftist rag that it has become. Now it is on the verge of going full communist. […]
