A brief history. In a free market, there’s a pretty simple process for dealing with the situation that arises when one person covets another’s belongings: The coveter makes an offer to purchase them.

MOREHouse Republicans Get Big Win In Their Obamacare Lawsuit

McCarthy: GOP CAN Stop The Iran Nuke Deal
Ingenious. To undermine President Obama’s atrocious Iran deal despite the Republican-controlled Congress’s irresponsible Corker legislation, it will be necessary to follow, of all things, the Corker legislation. On Wednesday, Barbara Mikulski became the 34th Senate Democrat to announce support for the deal, which lends aid and comfort to a ... MOREChris Christie Has No Problem With Warrantless Searches

MORERand Paul To Attack Trump Over Eminent Domain Abuse

MOREThomas Sowell: Immigration Excuses
A betrayal by elected officials. One of the most lame excuses for doing nothing is that we can't do everything.
