Foreign Aid Is Out of Control
Government-to-government handouts have a terrible track record. Indeed, the main impact of such transfers is to undermine good reform and enrich corrupt elites in poor nations. Moreover, if the goal is to actually create prosperity in developing countries, there is no substitute for free markets and limited government.

Trump's Voters Have Been Betrayed on Healthcare, Bigly
Should something good finally emerge, whether this year or next, it will be due not to the “greatness” of the executive and all his bluster, but rather to the courage, character, and commitment of a handful of people who still believe that freedom is that best path. It is not the political system that will have worked; it is that moral passion triumphed over politics.

In 2016, the Fund for Peace assigned Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen to the most dangerous (“very high alert”) group of countries. Iraq is assigned to the very dangerous (“high alert”) group of countries, and Libya – to the dangerous (“alert”) group. Iran is in the deeply troubled (“high warning”) group. The FSI Index in Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen shows worsening. The FSI Index in Iran has not changed but this deeply troubled country is stuck with multiple complex problems. So, is Trump’s (actually, Obama-Trump’s!) Muslim ban a reaction to a real risk? Or does this ban reflect an uncertainty of mind of decision-makers? What is special about these 7 countries?

Mark Levin explains WHY Republicans are making excuses for not fully repealing Obamacare
Full repeal of Obamacare through the budget reconciliation process in the Senate is possible and they can do it with 51 votes. Paul Ryan even said on the Mark Levin show in 2012 that 85% of Obamacare could be repealed through this process. But neither the House nor the Senate, have even attempted to pass a full repeal of the law through this process. So why won’t the Republicans do this? Because there are so many moderates and liberals in the Republican party that some of them want some aspects of Obamacare to stay.
