Their plan would, like the bill the House passed in May, almost certainly cause millions of low-income Americans to lose coverage by ending the Medicaid expansion.

"Unmoor the boat, we could go down river. History is a collection of found objects washed up through time.

Time that returns everything, changes everything... a bundle of abandoned clothes. The end of one identity and the beginning of another. History is a madman's museum.

Does America Need Nuclear-Armed Cruise Missiles?
*Luke O’Brien* *Security, * With Russia’s deployment of the new SSC-8 ground-launched cruise missile, the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty appears to be in its last death-throes. But what should the U.S. do in response to the treaty's demise? One suggestion is to bring back the nuclear version of the Tomahawk sea-launched cruise missile, the Tomahawk Land Attack Missile - Nuclear, or TLAM-N. The last TLAM-N was dismantled in 2013, though U.S. submarines hadn’t patrolled with them since President George H.W. Bush’s 1991 Presidential Nuclear Initiatives. Much of this ... more »
Qatar Chaos: Washington's Middle East Mass Confusion
Shortly after President Trump returned from his Middle East trip, Saudi Arabia and other members of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) broke diplomatic relations with fellow GCC member Qatar and established a blockade around the tiny country. The Saudi pretext was that Qatar supported terrorism and interfered in the affairs of other countries -- something the Saudis do in spades. President Trump initially signaled support for the Saudi move, but his Secretary of State and Defense Secretary, likely understanding that the largest US military base in the Middle East is in Qatar, have u... more »

Golden-cheeked warbler endangered no more! Environmentalists pout rather than celebrate successful recovery of bird species in Texas

The ESA’s purpose in terms of the golden-cheeked warbler has been accomplished, and Texas private property owners should not longer be burdened by further, unwarranted federal regulation.
