<\/a>Gun Rights<\/h1>\n
\nAn Evergreen State College student is prepared to sue the school for denying him a right to carry a licensed firearm on campus or at school-sponsored off-campus events.<\/p>\n
\nThe District of Columbia is famously hostile to guns unless they are in the hands of the security details of political figures and it has had a lot of bad luck.<\/p>\n<\/a>Hide the Decline<\/h1>\n
Environment &
\n“Green Energy”<\/h2>\n
\nThe Trump administration is in the beginning stages of forming an adversarial “red team” to play devil’s advocate in a plan to debate the facts behind global warming and take on what skeptics call climate alarmism.<\/p>\n
\nAfter almost two years, the Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Inspector General released its report on the Gold King Mine disaster that dumped over a million pounds of metals into the Animas River, turning dozens of miles of the river orange.<\/p>\n<\/a>Obamacare<\/h1>\n
Government in Healthcare<\/h2>\n
\nHaving denied Charlie’s parents the right to seek treatment, then wasting time through a protracted legal process, the defendants in the case effectively ran out the clock on Charlie.<\/p>\n
\nReal compassion means supporting parents who make the difficult decision to accept their babies as they are, and to love them when they’re born.<\/p>\n
\nThe United States is facing another crisis in organizing its health care system. It is clear that the private exchanges concocted under the Obama administration are failing at a record rate for the simple reason that they violate all known sound principles of insurance. The planners who put these programs together unwisely thought that universal coverage would overcome the standard insurance problems of adverse selection and moral hazard.<\/p>\n
\nExpert: “Medicaid recipients have less access to care, and the quality of care they do get is inferior”<\/p>\n
\nSen. Steve Daines is proposing an amendment to the Republican healthcare bill that would implement a government-run, single-payer insurance system in the U.S.<\/p>\n
\nThe proximate reason, of course, for the failure of the GOP effort to repeal and replace Obamacare is that moderate Republican senators voted against it: in the most recent instance, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, and John McCain. But Republicans\u2019 health-care struggles stem from a solvable, but more fundamental problem: uniting both moderate and conservative Republicans around a single bill.<\/p>\n
\nThe options were clear: vote for “skinny repeal” and get that version of the repeal bill to conference committee with the House of Representatives, where negotiators from the House and Senate could revise the bill further, or vote it down and effectively end the process, as no version of repeal legislation could reach 50 votes. McCain made his choice.<\/p>\n
\nBritish baby Charlie Gard, who was at the center of a legal battle that captured the world’s attention, died Friday, one week before his first birthday.<\/p>\n
\nThe brief but meaningful life of Charlie Gard forces us to confront how we view our society’s weakest members.<\/p>\n
\n“Opting out” =\/= “Losing”<\/p>\n
\nOnce the idea that killing people is a doctor\u2019s job got accepted, only the complete failure of the civilization that introduced it would change anything. Fortunately, for demographic reasons, that failure is likely.<\/p>\n
\nBut there is another side of this government-run nightmare that is ongoing. Suffice it to say that Charlie Gard isn\u2019t the only victim of the god-king-emperor healthcare system in the UK.<\/p>\n<\/a>War & Terror<\/h1>\n
\nVietnam has reportedly terminated a gas-drilling expedition in a disputed area of the South China Sea, following strong threats from China.<\/p>\n
\nPresident Donald Trump announced Wednesday morning that the U.S. military will not accept openly transgender individuals, reversing an Obama administration policy directive.<\/p>\n
\nOn Wednesday, President Donald Trump tweeted that he wouldn’t allow transgender individuals to serve in the military<\/p>\n
\nBut when will the weapon actually go to sea?<\/p>\n
\nA contingent of three ships from the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) were hosted as special guests in Istanbul last week. The visitors were greeted with considerable fanfare, conjuring images from an era when the city was still referred to as the Sublime Porte, and when the United States sent its own Great White Fleet to circumnavigate the globe. Chinese diplomats gathered for a fete with the 600 visiting sailors, entertained by a traditional band and, apparently, dancers wearing dragon costumes.<\/p>\n<\/a>National<\/h1>\n
\nFollowing a spate of Democrats announcing runs in the 48th Congressional District, GOP Rep. Dana Rohrabacher now has a challenger from his own party.<\/p>\n
\nIn the name of inclusivity, school kids with privacy concerns will be “segregated.”<\/p>\n
\nTrump appears to be a drag on Gillespie<\/p>\n
\nPresident Donald Trump will address thousands of Boy Scouts at a national gathering on Monday.<\/p>\n

\nSymptoms of conduct disorder range from lying and truancy to physical violence and weapon use.<\/p>\n
\nThe Rhode Island School of Design is offering a course this fall exploring “racial identification as a process that is always transracial.”<\/p>\n
\nFlorida truck driver James Matthew Bradley isn\u2019t the mastermind of the human smuggling ring that led to the grisly deaths of 10 illegal immigrants in his rig, which authorities found at a San Antonio Walmart over the weekend.<\/p>\n
\nThe top information technology aide to Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., was arrested Monday attempting to board a flight to Pakistan after wiring $283,000 from the Congressional Federal Credit Union to that country.<\/p>\n
\nSix weeks after he was shot on an Alexandria baseball field, Rep. Steve Scalise has been discharged from the hospital.<\/p>\n
\nA 27-year-old Spanish woman best known for her blogging on hunting committed suicide recently. She was apparently unable to cope with the massive hate and harassment she received from so-called animal rights activists.<\/p>\n
\nGoogle’s latest project is an application called Perspective, which, as Wired reports, brings the tech company “a step closer to its goal of helping to foster troll-free discussion online, and filtering out the abusive comments that silence vulnerable voices.” In other words, Google is teaching computers how to censor.<\/p>\n
\nIraq War veteran and Detroit businessman John E. James, who is considering a U.S. Senate bid in Michigan, is confident that he is the Republican Party’s best shot to unseat Michigan Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow in 2018.<\/p>\n
