Rumor has it that the Senate health-care bill will be released from behind closed doors sometime today.

WATCH: How Crony Capitalism Ruined Your Lighting, and More
In a great video produced by The American Conservative, Tim Carney explains how crony capitalism, led by GE, ruined Americans’ lightbulb choice, sent American jobs overseas, and used the government to benefit just a few companies.

What Good are 4,000 More Troops in Afghanistan?

Eric Holder for President? A Worst Case Scenario for Gun Owners

Republicans and Their “Self-Inflicted Wounds”
“It’s time to ask whether the attack on the United States Congress Wednesday was foreseeable, predictable and, to some degree, self-inflicted.” That unhinged commentary came from Scott Pelley, newsman for CBS Evening News, the day after the shooting of GOP congressmen as they practiced for the upcoming Congressional Baseball Game, a charity competition between a […]
Illinois Bankruptcy? It Could Happen

Heavily tattooed Night wolves leader Zaldostanov, known as “the Surgeon,” intends to help “reassert the greatness of the Russian world.” The Night Wolves’ imposing lair in an old Moscow junkyard has all the air of a “Mad Max” movie set.

Will it be War Then? Russia and U.S.A. on a Collision Course in Syria
Pat Buchanan wonders what the endgame for America is in Syria. After ISIS is beaten, will the U.S. attempt to consolidate territory under the control of its “moderate” rebel and Kurdish allies?
