Donald Trump won the White House on the promise to “drain the swamp” in Washington, D.C. He rode the wave of outsider all the way inside 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. But does Donald Trump even understand what the swamp is or who the people are that keep filling the swamp? By many of his presidential picks thus far (already summarized in this column), I am getting the impression that Trump may not understand who these swamp-fillers really are.
The swamp-fillers are NEOCONS. And they are the biggest threat to America and to everyone who lives on this planet regardless of nationality.
The word “neocon” has become a common term in our political lexicon. However, I don’t think most people
According to Section 1501(d)(2)(B) of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare"), there are religious exemptions for "Health Care-Sharing Ministries." The same law is also repeated in Section 5000A(d)(2)(B) of the IRS Code.

The purpose of this thread is to track key congressional votes, and to highlight Republicans that vote the wrong way. Democrats are not explicitly tracked, as they generally vote as a bloc, and almost always vote against freedom, fiscal responsibility, and limited government.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., told reporters on Friday that she filed a motion to vacate House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., accusing him of having "betrayed" the "confidence" of the House GOP Conference by ushering through a bipartisan $1.2 trillion federal funding bill to avoid a partial government shutdown.
Johnson won the gavel in late October after his predecessor was ousted by a...
I've only paid attention to her in a general sense and haven't really formed a solid opinion. Seems like there was something I completely disagreed with her on but I can't recall what it was. Nevertheless, she seems to be shaping up as pretty damn principled and is kicking ass. Curious what you guys think.
