Is America good? That’s the real question we have been debating these past few weeks. The answer, of course, is obvious to all but a few true radicals. Yes, America is good.

If you listen to the Left’s elite opinion makers, you might think that the Trump administration’s current large-scale attempt to reform and reduce the scope of the vast federal bureaucracy is tantamount to dictatorship. President Donald Trump is certainly launching a full-scale barrage against the administrative state. The Left’s #Resistance from within has been feeble at best compared…
Medicare is in serious need of fundamental reform. The old way in which Medicare reimbursed physician services was broken and needed to be scrapped. It was understandable that Congress wanted to find a permanent solution to the Medicare “Doc Fix” rather than relying on another short-term patch. The “Doc Fix” that was enacted in March…

To say the founding of the United States reflects biblical Christianity is to state the obvious. The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution incorporated many fundamental precepts of the Reformation, and these precepts long have been recognized by American statesmen and jurists. From overt assertions that people are “endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable…
Sen. Rand Paul today entered the race for president by urging voters to join him in fighting for “restrained” government and “maximized” freedom. “Too often Republicans have squandered our victory by becoming part of the Washington machine,” @RandPaul says.

After eight years of President Barack Obama, you’d think that firearms owners—and the entire firearms industry—would be dancing with joy at the presidency of Donald Trump.
