Defund Obamacare: Trump Administration Should Stop Obamacare’s Theft of Funds that Would Have Helped Middle America and Inner Cities
The inability for Congress to repeal Obamacare or replace it with an alternative brings to light another way for the Trump Administration to right the wrongs that Obamacare unleashed on the American middle class. Families across America are threatened by an undercapitalized Fannie and Freddie because the funds were instead used to fund Obamacare. The Obama Administration took $260 Billion that would have normally helped lower and middle-class families in rural America and inner cities buy homes and instead diverted the money to pay for the failed health care plan.

Gonzaga leaves no doubt, routs Xavier to earn trip to Final Four
Gonzaga knocked on the Final Four door twice before. The Zags didn’t bother knocking Saturday. They kicked the door down, trampling Xavier 83-59 in the West Regional final and delivering the biggest milestone yet in program history. Gonzaga will face the winner of Sunday’s Florida-South Carolina game in a national semifinal next Saturday at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

Final 4: Gonzaga 83, Xavier 59
Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs left no doubt, beating Xavier 83-59 on Saturday to punch the program’s first-ever ticket to the Final Four.

While environmentalists celebrate 'Earth Hour,' they should thank fracking for lowering emissions
It is evident that market forces, rather than government mandates, have driven the decoupling of emissions and economic growth. Only the future will reveal the full potential of human ingenuity to supply humanity's needs while reducing harmful environmental impacts.
