Congress Could Quickly End Obama’s Gun Grab

President Obama announced sweeping new executive orders on gun regulations Tuesday at the White House. Within moments of those remarks, Republican Congressional offices issued press statements criticizing Obama’s unilateral moves to tighten gun restrictions.

Millions Opt to Pay Fine, Refuse to Buy Health Insurance

Although 2.5 million new customers bought insurance through HealthCare.Gov after open enrollment began November 1, 10.5 million people eligible to buy coverage remained uninsured, according to the Obama Administration.

ObamaCare Deathwatch: Dems Want the Cadillac Tax On Ice

No “fixes” to ObamaCare should be permitted – full repeal is the only answer, and Democrats must be forced to accept it. Until then, they and their union allies should be made to feel every second of the agony they deserve, without release or reprieve. It is sheer political madness for any Republican to intervene on their behalf, especially when so many of the GOP’s constituents are suffering from lost insurance plans, soaring premiums, exploding out-of-pocket costs, and lost access to their doctors.

Liar-In-Chief: ObamaCare Is the Biggest Rip-Off In History

Before ObamaCare came along, I was paying $170 a month for a single-person catastrophic health care plan. My deductible was $10,000 a year. At the time, I was healthy, around 40 years-old, didn’t smoke, didn’t drink, didn’t use illegal drugs,
