The awards recognized outstanding efforts of unsung warriors in numerous fields outside of government service. The honorees were recognized for making notable contributions to preserving America’s liberties with their life work.

If Senator Graham can cajole his buddy John McCain into voting for his bill it just might allow Republicans to, at least part way, make good on their eight-year pledge to repeal and replace Obamacare.

It turns out that Judge Beryl Howell, who signed off on Robert Mueller’s request to convene a Washington, D.C. grand jury for the Russia investigation is a former staffer for Vermont’s hyper-partisan Leftist Democratic Senator Patrick Leahy, coauthored papers with a member of Mueller's team and used to turn up for work in Leahy's office dressed in a Mao suit.

Ignoring President Trump’s successes and judging the President’s results strictly by what investments haven’t yet come to maturity is a shortsighted view of the conservative ROI of President Trump’s first 100 days.

Obamacare 2.0, Rinocare or Ryancare, whatever you call it, Speaker Ryan's phony "repeal and replace" bill is actually worse than Obamacare in many respects, and it is all being done behind closed doors using budget reconciliation, not open debate and amendments. To stop Ryancare's benefits for illegal aliens, and massive new entitlements and big government we urge conservatives to contact the White House to let President Trump know he's being suckered on this deal.

In a stealth move that would affect nearly every American home and business and compromise national security the Obama Administration is proceeding with an effort that began while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State to illegally giveaway control of the Internet to the likes of Iran, China and Russia.

Especially in the context of Obama’s abuse of power the notion that a president can use the military to impose his will upon Congress cannot be allowed to enter the debate. Republicans, who claim to be the party of limited government constitutional conservatives, should have booed Sen. Graham out of the room, even if it was intended as a “joke.” And frankly, we’re not buying the idea Graham’s comment about using the military to force Congress to increase military spending was a “joke,” it was more like a revealing look at the inner man.
