The stories related to ObamaCare continue to pile up day after day. Even MSNBC is discussing how ObamaCare is causing anxiety among Democrats. Well what else did they expect?? Here are just some of the latest stories that will make your jaw drop...( more ) Securing The Border The battle over immigration is stuck on the idea that border securit...

 NATIONAL REVIEW 24 Minutes Ago Online | Print by  Peter Kirsanow The shameless dishonesty emanating from the proponents of the Gang of Eight Bill is remarkable even by Washington standards. Today they're touting an epic "tough border security" amendment that's supposed to rally sufficient support to give the bill unstoppable momentum going into the House. It's a lie wrapped in a sham inside a farce. I repeat once again: There is  NO  border security in the bill. Read the language pertaining to the bill's border security. It's easy to do. It's in English, with passable grammar and appropriate punctuation. The new epic amendment adds nothing whatsoever. It's a painfully transparent attempt to give senators additional linguistic ammunition to fool their constituents. It's simply more boob bait for the Bubbas. To appreciate just how insultingly meaningless the "tough border security" amendment is, consider that it promises to build a 700...

 BUZZFEED.COM 19 Minutes Ago Bloomberg Group Named Christopher Dorner, Other Murder Suspects On List Of Gun Violence "Victims" At a demonstration Tuesday in Concord, New Hampshire organized by Michael Bloomberg's advocacy group Mayors Against Illegal Guns, participants tried to rally support for gun control by spending several hours reading aloud from a list of gun violence victims who have been killed since the Newtown shooting. But the list from which the activists were reading — which was  compiled by Slate  and includes more than 6,000 names — contained at least 10 murder suspects, including the alleged cop killer Christopher Dorner, who was the subject of a massive, high-profile manhunt in February, and apparently killed himself in a cabin after a gun fight with police. Already, the Bloomberg group was forced to apologize Tuesday after the  New Hampshire Union-Leader  reported Tuesday that Boston bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev was named among the victims. But the...

Greetings fellow Patriots -- in the name of Liberty, In 1776, Thomas Paine opened his famous pamphlet, "The American Crisis," with these words: "THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation wit...

The security environment remains complex in Israel and the West Bank, and U.S. citizens need to be aware of the continuing risks of travel to these areas, particularly to areas described in this Travel Warning, where there are heightened tensions and security risks. The Department of State strongly warns U.S. citizens against travel to the Gaza Strip. Furthermore, it cautions them that, with the exception of Jericho and Bethlehem, personal travel to the West Bank by U.S. government employees is prohibited. This replaces the Travel Warning issued December 20, 2012, to update information on the general security environment. Over three million foreign citizens, including hundreds of thousands of U.S. citizens, safely visit Israel and the West Bank each year for study, tourism, and business. The Government of Israel and the Palestinian Authority make considerable efforts to protect U.S. citizens and othervisitors to major tourist destinations. Nonetheless, U.S. citizens should also take in...
