A Health Care Opportunity for Republicans
Posted By: FlyRight, 12/15/2025 3:16:15 PM
As Congress enters its final scheduled week of business of the year, it has failed to pass legislation on health care. Last Thursday, the Senate rejected a Democratic bill to expand Obamacare as well as a Republican alternative that would have given money directly to individuals to put in health savings accounts.While Republicans may talk themselves into a one-year extension with the hope that it would take the issue off the table for Democrats, they would be making a huge mistake. If Republicans agree to extend the subsidies now, they will never be allowed to expire, because the logic will never change.

With Shocking New Classification for Lethal Narcotic 5 replies
President Donald Trump upped the ante in the war on drugs after making an official move to classify the deadly drug fentanyl as a Weapon of Mass Destruction (WMD), allowing for new tools for the government to stop the flood of the lethal drug that’s killed way too many Americans. In the Oval Office on Monday, Trump signed an executive order designating illicit fentanyl and its core precursor chemical as a WMD, per a White House press release.
Today I am taking one more step to protect Americans from the scourge of deadly fentanyl flooding into our country, “Trump said. “With this historic executive order…

Trumpomachean Ethics

Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics is full of good advice and wise observations. So is the upbeat summary of Donald Trump’s practical ethics, presented in his video “Eleven Life-Changing Lessons.”
Did you snicker when you saw the names “Aristotle” and “Donald Trump” juxtaposed? Of course you did. Aristotle is one of the greatest philosophers in history, and his Ethics, along with his Politics, may lay claim to being among the greatest repositories of practical wisdom in the Western tradition.
And Donald Trump? Well, he is a conspicuously successful businessman, a devoted father, and a celebrated media personality. He is also, in case you hadn’t noticed,

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth arrived at Redstone Arsenal Friday to unveil the new headquarters for the U.S. Space Force, solidifying Alabama as the epicenter of America's orbital defense operations and marking a triumphant return to President Trump's vision of unchallenged U.S. superiority in space.
The event, also attended by Space Command Commander Gen. Stephen Whiting, Secretary of the Air Force Troy Meink, and other local leaders, featured Hegseth pulling back the curtain on fresh U.S. Space Command signage at the sprawling Redstone facility.
German police have arrested five men in connection with an alleged Islamist terror plot to attack targeting a Christmas market in southern Bavaria. According to the Bild newspaper, three Moroccans aged 22, 28, and 30 were arrested alongside a 37-year-old Syrian and a 56-year-old Egyptian suspected of planning to use a vehicle to attack people at a Christmas market in the town of Dingolfing The paper, citing sources within the Bavarian State Office for the Protection of the Constitution (LfV), reported that the Egyptian man is believed to have been a mosque prayer leader.
US President Donald Trump may believe that selling F-35 stealth warplanes to Turkey will help the country forge closer ties with the US at the expense of Russia. The reality, though, is that by providing such sophisticated fighter jets to a country that supports Hamas terrorists -- and whose president recently said that "Israel will have no choice but to kneel in front of Turkey" -- Trump is merely stoking the flames of a future war aimed at destroying Israel.
Are Americans feeling worse this holiday season than in recent years? That’s the narrative emerging from the legacy press but there’s very little to support it. The Associated Press published a widely distributed story this week claiming American shoppers face economic conditions this holiday season that “look very similar” to December 2022, when inflation hit a four-decade high. But an examination of the polling data reveals the news organization strategically omitted asking key questions about holiday shopping behavior in 2023 and 2024, while using loaded language and selective anecdotes to manufacture a narrative of Trump-era economic failure.
Christmas could be coming twice.
Working Americans are going to get “very large refunds” of $1,000 to $2,000 per household early in the new year, according to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
The checks will come in the first quarter of 2026 as a result of tax cuts in President Donald Trump’s sweeping, budget-focused One Big Beautiful Bill Act, he said.
“I think we’re going to see $100-$150 billion of refunds, which could be between $1,000, $2,000 per household,” Bessent said Wednesday. After getting the refund, US residents are expected to change their withholding status so that less tax is taken from each paycheck.
In the gathering dusk of a North Norfolk evening, where the North Sea mists drift in from a cold and indifferent sea, James Nye, 44, whose family has run East Anglian inns for 30 years, stands behind the bar of the White Horse in Holme-next-the-Sea. The pub, a low, Grade II-listed sentinel of stone and brick, flickers beneath strings of fairy lights that feel less festive than quietly defiant. Nye, steward of 10 inns, draws a pint of Adnams Ghost Ship while the low growl of tractors fades along the lanes outside – protest vehicles nursing wounds deeper than any fresh furrow.”
California Gov. Gavin Newsom grosses out

Nuts to that.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom was roasted online for his bizarre AI-created reaction to being called out by The Post for sitting in a testicle-crushing pose during an interview.
Newsom’s press office took to X Friday to try and deflect from the many masculinity-mocking pol-watchers with a doctored image of the governor in an even more compromising yoga-style pose on stage at The New York Times Dealbook Summit.
“Democracy requires flexibility,” the tone-deaf Governor Newsom Press Office wrote in a caption to the post. The strange attempt at humor fell flat with X-users who were aghast at the extra eyeful of Gavin.
“They…Posted this?” Mark Mitchell from Rasmussen Report.
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator Mehmet Oz on Friday warned Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz the state could lose federal Medicaid funding unless it restores "the integrity" of its program.
In a post on X, Dr. Oz claimed more than $1 billion had been stolen through a massive Medicaid fraud scheme carried out by "bad actors" within Minnesota’s Somali community, alleging some of the funds "may have even made its way to the Somalian terrorist group (al-Shabab)."
"Our staff at CMS told me they’ve never seen anything like this in Medicaid —
The left beclowns itself again and again
It is actually rather sad … the Democrats keep trying out new narratives every couple of days.
This week, it is the blowing up of narcoterrorist boats.
This is a bad thing, they say.
Cocaine from Venezuela has killed tens of thousands of Americans, but the Democrats are mad that our fabulous military is taking them off the map.
Never mind that Venezuela has been shipping drugs to the U.S. and rigging elections around the world for decades. A few weeks ago, the Dems' hair was on fire over the Jeffrey Epstein documents they were demanding be released.

for investigating her alleged marriage
to brother 27 replies
Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., called those concerned about whether she married her brother “sick” after the far-left lawmaker was approached by Fox News Digital about border czar Tom Homan, signaling that federal officials have started digging into records pertaining to the matter.
Homan said last week that records and files related to Omar’s potential immigration fraud were being pulled and looked at after President Donald Trump revived the years-old scandal amid an ongoing debate over the Somali Medicaid fraud scandal taking place in Omar’s state of Minnesota.
While Homan suggested that fraud likely took place, he also signaled that the crime’s statute of limitations could present a problem when it comes
The Obamas were supposed to meet with director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele, the night they were allegedly killed by their son, Nick Reiner, in their home in Los Angeles. “We were supposed to be seeing them that night — last night — and we got the news,” Michelle Obama said on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Monday night, when host Jimmy Kimmel asked how she was coping with the news of her friends’ murders.
The former first lady said she and her husband were devastated when they learned that the legendary filmmaker and his wife, with whom they had been friends for “many, many years,” had been killed.
At a Tuesday afternoon press conference, Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman and Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell gave an update on the murders of legendary Hollywood director Rob Reiner and his wife, photographer Michele Singer Reiner.
Hochman announced that he would be filing charges against Nick Reiner on two counts of first degree murder with a special circumstance of multiple murders. Reiner also faces a special allegation that he "personally used" a dangerous and deadly weapon – a knife – in the commission of those murders. The charges, according to Hochman, carry a maximum sentence of life in prison with the possibility of parole or the death penalty.
Chuck Schumer Calls for More Gun Control

After Handgun Attack at Gun-Free Brown University 22 replies
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) called for more gun control in response to Saturday’s handgun attack at gun-free Brown University.
He did not mention the school’s gun-free policy nor that it goes so far as to prevent concealed carry permit holders from being armed on campus for self-defense.
Instead, Schumer went with the standard Democrat talking point of pushing more gun laws after extant gun control fails to prevent a criminal from acting out his heinous intentions.
Forbes posted video of Schumer claiming Australia is showing “courage” by seeking ways to expand and implement new gun controls after the Bondi Beach terror attack.
President Donald Trump’s tasteless comments following the apparent murder of Hollywood legend Rob Reiner on Sunday showed that the president, at least on that occasion, had a speck in his eye.
Before criticizing Trump, however, liberals should make sure to remove the logs from their own eyes. (Matthew 7:3)
Recall, for instance, that a swarm of liberals, including Reiner himself, once greeted news of the late conservative media icon Rush Limbaugh’s cancer diagnosis — and later Limbaugh’s death — with politically-motivated heartlessness. “Only one thing to say about Rush Limbaugh getting a Presidential Medal if Freedom at The State of the Union: I loathe this *****g man,” Reiner wrote
President Trump defended White House chief of staff Susie Wiles in an exclusive interview with The Post Tuesday — saying she was right to tell Vanity Fair he has an “alcoholic’s personality” and that he has full faith in Wiles to continue in her role. Trump, 79, reiterated that he avoids alcohol, saying in the interview he has a “possessive and addictive type personality” and that he wasn’t offended by her word choice. “No, she meant that I’m — you see, I don’t drink alcohol. So everybody knows that — but I’ve often said that if I did, I’d have a very good chance of being an alcoholic.
Ding-Dong! The Obamacare Subsidies Are Dead!
19 replies
The enhanced Obamacare subsidies Democrats shut down the government to protect back in October are officially dead. House Speaker Mike Johnson slammed the door on extending the bloated COVID-era handout, saying the House will focus instead on moving forward with a new Republican healthcare package.
The temporary subsidies, born out of pandemic panic, were supposed to expire at the end of this year. Democrats, of course, wanted them extended indefinitely—because nothing is ever temporary in Washington when it involves taxpayer money. But Johnson made it clear on Tuesday that this was the end of the line.
The Trump administration is doing damage control after a new series of extraordinarily candid interviews with White House chief of staff Susie Wiles set the political world ablaze.
In a series of eleven interviews with Vanity Fair conducted throughout the first year of President Trump’s second term, Wiles gave her unfiltered thoughts on Trump’s “alcoholic” personality, Vice President JD Vance’s “sort of political” conversion to Trumpism, Elon Musk’s “odd” behavior and drug use, and Attorney General Pam Bondi’s mistakes in handling the Epstein files.

Jan. 6 speech 18 replies
President Trump lodged an eye-watering $10 billion lawsuit against the BBC on Monday, accusing the British broadcaster of defaming him through a deceptive edit of his Jan. 6, 2021, speech at the White House Ellipse.
The lawsuit took aim at a 2024 documentary by the BBC, which spliced different sections of Trump’s comments before his supporters ransacked the Capitol to make it appear as though he explicitly encouraged the riot.
“I’m suing the BBC for putting words in my mouth, literally,” Trump grumbled to reporters earlier in the day, Monday. “They actually put terrible words in my mouth having to do with January 6th that I didn’t say.”
The Bondi Beach attack in Australia was shocking, but not at all surprising.
Some of the details were distinctive — an idyllic spot on the Pacific Ocean instantly turned into a killing field; a father-son terror squad — but the basic picture of radicalized Muslim immigrants targeting a gathering of Jews was drearily familiar.
These events follow the same pattern because the fundamentalist version of Islam is, at its root, hostile to Jews.
Let’s say, for the sake of argument, that there was a refugee flow of Unitarians, and some proportion of those Unitarians were antagonistic to traditional Christians — such that they vandalized their businesses, harassed them in the streets,
The Somalization of North Dakota

On July 13, 2023, Mohamad Barakat, a Syrian refugee, packed up several rifles and handguns 1,800 rounds of ammo, a hand grenade, and a car filled with gas cans on the way to carry out an Islamic terrorist attack at Fargo’s Downtown Street fair aiming to kill thousands of Americans. Instead the terror refugee got into a confrontation with police and died in an exchange of fire.
North Dakota Attorney General Drew Wrigley insisted that there was ‘no evidence of political, racial or religious motivation’. “At this point it seems [no] more notable that he’s Muslim than I’m Lutheran,” he bafflingly argued. He also dismissed footage of Mohamad holding a Koran.
